Rae Alexandra: As a resident of the Mission who has had to share a sidewalk — nay, sometimes even a boutique — with a stroller, I have to say, I wholeheartedly believe in the Ban Babies on Valencia campaign. Please tell me how this bold mission came about.
Dr. Trumley: The ban of babies from Valencia is a needed action. And not one that we took lightly. But just like you are a mere baby in the light of the future so is the need to ban babies from the street. Which street? Valencia. But to be clear, it could be Any Street, USA.
San Francisco notoriously has more dog residents than child ones. With that in mind, does a citywide ban on babies feel like a realistic goal to you?
Many citizens have suggested we expand this particular mission to all of San Francisco. But then I would argue that the joy of a baby-free Valencia would be lost to a sea of same. It is critical to the future…
